[Q] [REQUEST] Remove Exchange Policy From Sense Mail.apk On Super-Z Enhanced v4.2 - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to figure out how to remove the exchange lock policy (have to enter pin after unlocking phone) for the mail.apk in the SUPER-Z Enhanced V4.2 ROM. I have tried countless methods but none were successful. I know I can do it with other mail.apk's but I want to use the sense one included in the ROM. Any help is appreciated. The original apk is attached.
Thanks

What I Did
I'm not sure what the differences are between mail.apk's but I followed the instructions from the following post and it worked like a champ:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10024521&postcount=293
When you setup the exchange account it still asks you to activate security and set a pin but once you've setup the account you can remove the admin and use pattern lock.
I attached my Mail.apk. It originated from Virtuous 3.2.

Thanks ktdt I will try when I get home. I tried doing something similar but I couldn't get java files to cooperate.

I deleted my old Mail.apk and pushed the one you supplied to /system/app and then rebooted. When I try to open mail in the app drawer it force closes. Every other one I tried to do did the same thing. Any ideas?

Hmmm.... not sure... I've used that same APK with Virtuous, IncrediblyReengineered and Redemptive Revolution with no problems. Every time I flash a new ROM I replace the APK before setting up the Exchange account.
Did you delete your Exchange account (and any POP3's) and/or maybe delete your mail data before removing/replacing the Mail.apk?

No I just deleted mail.apk, I will try that and let you know.

Ok still didn't work and I did the following. Removed my exchange account, not any account setup on POP, IMAP, etc. Then I cleared the cache, data and force stopped, Mail, Mail Widget, Calendar, Calendar Storage, Calendar Sync Adapter and Calendar Widget. Then I used Super Manager to delete Mail.apk form /system/app. I then pushed your supplied Mail.apk to /system/app and then rebooted. Open app drawer try to open Mail and force close. I might just try another ROM with your Mail.apk what do you think?

I changed to Incredibly Re-Engineered and it works now. Must have not liked the ROM I was on. This was more important to me so I made the switch. Thanks for the help.

New Gmail client available for Android

http://wp.me/pUjC4-dA
Like the new client, but sometimes the display pics of the email senders don't load! I have to reopen the email and it is only then the display pics are shown! Irritating me no ends.
install fail here.
Yep, installation unsuccessful too on LeeDroid 2.1
isnt it on the market?
or is that vanilla roms only..
leedrooi 2.0c here install fail here.. i guess its time to move on the leedroid 2.1
I think we'll have to remove the original Gmail app to install this on custom roms, not sure how we do that tho.
It's on the Market for HTC 2.2, and installs right-on just fine.

you need to uninstall the previous gmail before installing this
either through using adb or titanium to remove the previous gmail
I just used THIS guide to remove teh stock Gmail app and install the new one from Market.
http://jaxov.com/2010/09/how-to-remove-stock-default-android-apps-easily/
Too bad I couldn't do the same for Google Search. Installation from Market just fails now.
Haven't had any issues with updating or using the update. All's fine
Hmm, 3.73MB, that poor Desire internal memory
If you use the original GMail app you can install without any problem. Most custom ROMs that update GMail use a package that can't be upgraded directly.

Don't update, use HTC's email client instead and add the google account, a much better solution imo
HTC's email client is superior in every way.
The problem arrises when you already have an exchange account and in this case you need to define your google account as a POP3 one, thus loosing push capabilities.

I switched from HTC client to gmail app to get the emails pushed to phone instantly.
Ok, well then you'll need the gmail app after all...
As I only use Gmail on my phone it's always in use, update works fine on stock ROM and is a welcome update

[Q] Accidentally erased Facebook for HTC Sense

I accidentally erased Facebook for HTC Sense. Now i can't sync my contacts with Facebook. I'm rooted with unrEvoked, and i guess i have stock kernel. Any suggestions how to download this again? Is there something better for syncing with Facebook.
Thanks
Go to the regular facebook page from your browser and there will be a link at the bottom of the facebook page to download to your Evo.
Stealthl: thanks, but that only downloads the one in Android Market. I need the one that came with the phone, so I can sync with my contacts. Anyone have that ROM for downloading?

uhh... they're the same app? Many roms I flash don't come with Facebook at all. I download it from the market, log in, and it gives me the option to sync contacts.
I also would love to get this, since made the same mistake. Side note they are not the same.
Extract it from the Rom your using (zip) and push it into your system it re-flash the Rom.

That seems to be the app from the market right.
The app we're looking for is the one that comes on the evo from sprint. It is called HTC Facebook for Sense.
I am having the same issue where I deleted the HTC Facebook app thinking it was the same as the market FB app when apparently it is now. And now my contact list will not synch with Facebook.
I also tried to create a facebook account under "accounts and synch" but it didn't work presumably because I no longer have HTC Facebook installed.
This is what comes on the phone.
They are not the same. That being said... the one in the market is definitely better. The only down side is it wont sync your facebook calendar. (if that matters to you) It SHOULD do contacts. What you have to do is go to the home screen, then choose menu, settings, sync contacts, then choose the appropriate choice. Note: it doesnt open to the home screen.
If you still couldn't get the Android Market Facebook work with syncing your contacts, or if you still just want the HTCFacebook.apk, then here it is. You need to copy it to /system/app, using Root Explorer, or use adb to push it to system/app. It won't work if you try to install it like a regular app.
Edit: I just noticed that the OP was from mid November!!! HAHAHA
Copied to /system/app using root explorer get app not installed error any suggestions...its funny hoe you go crazy deleting stock apps when u first root then loose some functionality like the ability to sync

I would really just suggest the one from the market... or reinstalling the rom (no need to wipe if its the same rom, just clear both catches.

Once you copy and paste it into system /app, long press htcfacebook.apk. choose permissions. Be sure that the top rows of the first two columns are checked.

[Q] Stock email

I have an EVO. Its basically is just the stock over the air rooted (android 2.3.3). The main thing that I have had issue with is only being able to have 1 exchange account. I have been told that apparently that is just an HTC thing and the stock android allows for multiple.
I have read through and search the forums for how to get the stock email app installed. It seems like everything is either to old or something and download links are not working, etc. I saw one post that said just get the app from another rom and install it.
So I downloaded the stock deodexed rom from the Nexus S (which I no is stock). And pulled the email.apk from it. Transferred it to my evo and tried to install and got the error "application not installed".
So I found things saying to try and remove the app that was already on the phone. So I used root uninstaller and uninstalled the mail app from the phone (the HTC one not gmail.apk)
But I get the same error. I tried, replacing the email.apk on the rom that I used with the email.apk from the stock rom and load the rom, but the rom wouldn't load.
Does anyone have any ideas or help they might be able to give me, or possibly any other way to get multiple exchange accounts working on the evo?
It looks like your only option is Enhanced Email from the Market ($9.99)
OR set up one of your accounts as IMAP
Advanced email is using your existing stock apps and a good solution
Better is to use k9 mail with more options and a multi user solution.

hello,
i tried to set up the push on cyanogen rom but i have some difficulties.
i setup my yahoo account but the push don't work.
Can you help me please.
thank's
Any ideas ...? i'm the only one who have this problem ?
Maybe wifi disconnect. Try reload burton from app itself
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
if i go to the email and i do a refresh it work. but this is not "the push". When i was on froyo official and eclair official, the push work immediately. Now i need to go on email app to check my email, no notification.
I was having the same problem.
Go to settings/ accounts and sync /Manage accounts and select the account whose email you are using then make sure that you have checked the sync email option. This fixed my problem. By the way I use a Gmail account.
the problem is already here. when i go to the account setting i can't choose push in "refresh frequency".
Before, when i was on stock rom i have this option.
I don't know if the problem comes from the cyanogen rom or the 179 sbf rom that i flash before installing cyanogen.
Any ideas

[Q] Need CalendarProvider apk please

Before I state the problem, I would like to say this is self inflicted and I should have been more careful. But hindsight is 20/20.
I recently got an M8. Rooted, TWRPd it, and deleted a bunch of bloatware (or so I thought) using the TWRP File Manager. In the process, I think I deleted the Calendar Provider service apk. Now my calendar doesnt work and I randomly get this message your Exchange service has stopped unexpectedly eventhough, my exchange email is coming through.
I was a dummy and didnt do a backup thinking I am only deleting a bunch of unwanted stuff. What can I do now. I tried downloading some version of this SecCalendarProvider.apk from the internet and put it in the system/apps folder but nothing has changed. I dont think it even got started.
Can someone please provide me with a copy of the CalendarProvider.apk? I am not sure if its called HTCCalendarProvider.apk or SecCalendarProvider.apk.
Thanks.
